SUBJECT:
FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT N0. 1 - DENIAL OF THE USE OF CODE CASE N-416-1 WITH PROPOSED EXCEPTIONS AND CODE CASE N-498-2 AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE REQUIRED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST (TAC NO, M95800)
Dear Mr. Gambhir:
By letter dated February 23, 1996, Omaha Public Power District submitted two relief requests for the inservice inspection (ISI) program for Fort Calhoun Station (FCS).
OPPD requested approval to use ASME Section XI Code Case N-416-1 with a proposed exception, and Code Case N-498-2 as an alternative to the required hydrostatic pressure test.
Specifically, relief was requested from hydrostatic test pressure and hold time requirements during system pressure testL As detailed in the enclosed safety evaluation, t-he staff concludes that the licensee's proposed alternatives to.use Code Cases N-416-1 (with an exception)
~
and N-498-2 in lieu of req'uired testing do not satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(3).
Therefore, the proposed alternatives are denied.
Sincerely, Original Signed By
, Timothy G. Colburn
